Vector bundle

Geometric Academic Language
A vector bundle is a geometric structure. For each point of a topological space (or manifold, or algebraic cluster), a vector space is attached in a mutually compatible way. These vector spaces used "stick together" to form a new topological space (or manifold, or algebraic cluster). [1]
A typical example is the tangent bundle of a manifold: attach the Tangent space Or consider a plane Smooth curve , then attach a straight line perpendicular to the curve at each point of the curve; This is the curve“ Normal bundle "。
The vector bundle is Fibre plexus One of.

All classes of vector bundles and projections of bundles form a category If we limit it to smooth manifolds and smooth bundles, we have the category of smooth vector bundles.
We can consider a fixed bottom space X A category consisting of all vector bundles of. Let's take those in the bottom space X On Identity mapping (identity map) as a radio in this category That is to say, the bundle meets the following commutative graph:
vector bundle morphism
(Note that this category is not commutative; projective of vector bundles nucleus Usually it cannot be a vector bundle naturally.)

Given a vector bundle π: E X And an open subset U , we can consider that π U On section , that is, continuous function s : U E Meet π s = id U . In essence, the section gives U A vector taken from the vector space attached to the point at each point of, and the value should be continuous.
For example, the section of the tangent bundle of a differential manifold is the vector field on the manifold.
order F ( U )For U Collection of all sections on the F ( U )There is always at least one element: V In x Map to π ({ x }) s . Use addition and multiplication of each point, F ( U )The sum of these vector spaces is X Of vector space on layer
if s belong to F ( U )And α: U R Is a continuous mapping, then α s belong to F ( U )We can see F ( U )Is a U On the ring of continuous real valued functions over model Further, if O X express X The layer structure of upper continuous function, then F Yes O X -A layer of mold.
Not O X -Each layer of the module is derived from the vector bundle in this way: only the local free layer can be obtained from this method. (Reason: local, we need to find a projection U × R U These are just continuous functions U R , and this function is continuous U R n -Tuple.)
Further speaking: X The category of real vector bundles on is equivalence On O X -Modules are locally free and finitely generated by layers.
So we can regard the vector bundle as being located at O X -In the category of module layer; The latter is commutative, so we can calculate the projective kernel of the vector bundle.

hold Real vector space If you change it to complex, you get complex vector bundles. This is a special case of reduction of structure group. You can also use other Topological domain Vector space, but relatively rare. [1]
If we allow the use of arbitrary Banach space (not just R ), you can get Banach cluster.
